We are happy. I mean, as if everything that we have been through and overcome and are still bumping our shins into in the dark wasn't enough; we're going to go through it from the top once more. There are obvious reasons to do it, obviously, and ways to get there but as soon as the sickness hits, there are no rational arguments. This sucks.
Kelly is in her 12th week now and is suffering and yes, I know it ends and she knows it too but right now reactions (namely to food) speak louder than words. This morning we rushed off to the A & E at Maryborough Hospital after Kel hadn't been able to keep anything down, especially fluids, for about 2 days and felt weak. Her level of dehydration thankfully hadn't gone too far and she was put on a drip and some anti-nausea medication.
We're home now, and I think Kelly has settled into the routine of watching a girly TV series (last time it was Sex in the City, now it's Gilmore Girls, I love that show btw). She is off pretty much everything apart from fruit chews, orange and grapefruit juice, crackers, paddle pops and fruit chews. This is going to be interesting. I think Kai and I are going to have a lot of separate dinners as when I gave Kai some frozen peas for dessert, he offered some to Kelly and she had to run out of the room.
Everything is now run by me, although this was sort of already the case since I took up full time daddyhood and study, and the requests are sometimes the most baffling and infuriating part of the whole process for me. That and the fact I’m going to gain weight, and I’ve got nausea, and gas as well.
Stupid empathy, why does it not understand how I feel!
I know, she knows (Kai doesn't have an idea yet) that this gets better. I’m really sad that this has to happen at all, let alone again. The sickness I mean, not the pregnancy. I mentioned she was pregnant didn’t I. Well she is, and we are really excited, inside, under the fatigue and unwashed demeanours.
Whoever it is that is coming they're due the end of January.
Pretending it’s a beesting,
Evan.

Woohoo! I am excited can't wait. It is easier second time round, in some ways. It is like you know what to do with this thing called a baby, you just still not sure how to cope with this toddler who is turning into a teenager before your eyes!
Congratulations!!
I really enjoyed reading your sensitive view of all this exciting news and events.
I am overjoyed for you three, and us of course.
I am hoping that it will all pass the sickness, and gas of course.
You are in our thoughts always..
Love Mum & Scott xxxx
